In case you are not able to view the vid, here’s a rough transcript:
Take a look at this picture:
Is this what Hannuka has become?
How do you have a Hannuka that is more in tune with the ancient, pre-Xmas wisdom of the holiday?
The secret is on the last night, the eighth night.
This year, on Sunday night, get yourself a menorah and those eight candles lit.
While they are burning in the darkness of the night, take a few minutes to meditate on the candles.
What the 8 candles represent is that totally spiritual person that is inside of you trying to get out.
On Sunday night, meditate on those candles and find that person inside of you who wants to have a totally meaningful life. That person inside of you who wants to change the world.
Then you can enter 2009 inspired with the simplicity and joy of a child, and the wisdom of the ancients.
Have a Happy Hannuka!
and Shabbat Shalom.
PS – here is an inspiring article on Hannuka in a concentration camp.
